Most likely irritation or eczema, nothing more.  I suggest applying Sarna lotion (over-the-counter) as needed for itch, and perhaps 1% hydrocortiosne cream twice a day for a few days.  Avoid heat, friction, or rubbing.  If that doesn't take care of it, please show a doctor.

Best.

I am having the same problem, but mine is accompanied by a patch of light pink dry itchy skin, and has double in size over the last 6 months...(about an inch long, and half an inch wide) Im still a teenager and too insecure to show my parents or ask to see the doctor, is there an over the counter treatment for this.

Oh yeah I am still a virgin so it cant be an std.
